        good - because the replacement software wont fit a 324

        this is actually built for a 1284 but it should work i think
        it expects a 20Mhz crystal
        changed config files are included for viewing

          i forgot to say,
          you need to reprogram the 8 pin microcontroller that controls power, or replace it with a small circuit

              yes,
              lots of new features.
              but the biggest thing was the circuit for power.
              the original 8pin microcontroller seemed to not go into sleep-mode sometimes and was draining the battery

                Which ESR meter would you reccomend for testing caps in vintage solid state audio gear? Do i need LCR so i can measure at different frequencys?

                  vintage and solid-state arent 2 words you often hear together.
                  you mean 70's and 80's ?

                    Is it possible to test small ceramic disc capacitor with analogue meter?
                    by chth96
                    I read EBOOK of Testing Electronic Component and found that

                    "In order to test the small blue resin coated ceramic disk capacitor which has 104 50v specification,it is possible to test this small ceramic capacitor by making use of analogue meter.
                    Set to times 10Kohm that has 12v output from the probe to check disorder of ceramic capacitor.
                    It is not uncommon that testing result of digital capacitance meter is okay,But It show shorted reading when you check it with analogue meter."

                    Is it really possible to test small ceramic disc capacitor with analogue...

                    Modification of a Fluke multi meter that uses three AA batteries to use a 14500 lithium ion battery
                    by sam_sam_sam
                    I have had with regular AA batteries that leak this meter is expensive new I already replaced the battery battery clips once and the same thing happened again and I am tried of so it is getting modified to accommodate lithium ion batteries that are the same size excluding the positive terminal and removing the battery clips I will have enough room for the BMS protection board

                    I going to put 3 lithium ion battery in parallel with the BMS protection board and a way to charge the battery externally and heat shrink the battery pack and use a JST connector so I easily remove the battery...

                    Changing the scale of an analog meter
                    by jorpec
                    Hi

                    I want to change the scale of an analog meter, to monitor the charge of an li-ion single cell, so the needle at the end would point 4.2 volts and the 0 on the meter would point 2.5 volts or so, i tried to add diodes or a zener in series with the meter but the changes of the ambient temperature also changes the voltage value on the meter
                    I wonder how i can accomplish this so the meter would be precise at any temperature ?

                    How an incandescent light and a ESR meter ** friend**have a machine blowing fuses
                    by sam_sam_sam
                    About a month ago we had a transformer jumper wire that burned in two different places between two transformers caused over $200 thousand dollars worth of damage to VFD drives at least 10 of them and a memory card and quite a few power supply as well

                    Now we have most of the equipment that got damaged back up and running except a feeder that has issues and we are waiting for some parts for

                    Now we also have another piece of equipment that was blowing fuses on the 110 volt controller switch circuit with the “E” stops and one switching power (24 volt) supply and a transformer...

                    ps4 1215 model Changed port and encoder still no video?
                    by irepair559
                    hi guys so i have this ps4 fat 1215 i believe ( the one with the ps4 pro/slim newer encoder ic ) so i replaced hdmi and 2 blown filters and still no pic so i replaced encoder and still no pic. i made sure port is solid even checked with a breakout hdmi and tested ground and data lines.. Filters are all good , though 2 of the newer ones are larger then the original ones i dont know if that matters ?
                    Made sure under the scope encoder pins all look solid went over with fine tip and solder again. Idk but this thing is stressing me out..
                    ps4 seems to boot fine blue light then solid...
